Details of climbing club: [br] Benefits:discounts on________ [originaltext]R: O

R: Oh well, as I said. I’m in that so I might be able to help you a bit.
T: OK. It says in the leaflet that they get together twice a month. Is that right?
R: Yes. Oh, you must join. It’s really good fun. We go away quite a bit to North Wales and every year we have a special excursion, usually to France, which is where we’re going this year in the spring. The weather’s too unpredictable in the autumn.
T: Wow! That sounds good — but it must cost a lot.
R: Yeah, but we try and save up for it through subscriptions so rather than having a huge sum to pay in the month we collect those weekly so it spreads it out.
T: Good idea. I think I’ll definitely join.
R: There are quite good benefits you get from joining. I mean, you need that don’t you? And the University clubs normally try and do deals with local businesses, it’s really worth joining. Like in the climbing club they’ve got a special arrangement with one of the shops in town so if you show your card you can get money off equipment. Don’t think the discount extends to clothes though.
T: That’s really worth it then. I’ll go over and talk to them now.
R: OK. Hope you do join. Oh, and another thing I meant to say. If you do become a member, you automatically receive a magazine once a year. It’s quite useful and interesting because it goes out to all the national climbing clubs. And the other thing is if you come to every session, then you can get a complimentary ticket to the big exhibition that’s held in Cardiff every year. So — hope to see you...
T: Yeah, thanks...
